New York (AP) -- The next Rolling Stones project will cost
you a lot more than the average concert ticket.
A boxed, collector's edition of "The Rolling Stones," a
coffee table book featuring hundreds of famous and little-known
photographs, will be released in December. The publisher Taschen
announced Monday that band members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards,
Ron Wood and Charlie Watts signed each of the available 1,150
copies. The asking price: $5,000. The regular edition, unsigned
and slightly smaller in dimension, has a list price of $150.
In a statement issued through Taschen, Jagger said the book
captures "many magical moments," while Richards called it a
"roller coaster" through the band's 50 year history.

C'mon....the $150.00 version should be at least signed by Chuck or someone with a strong tie.

right, they had one too!

They are not auto pen signed. There are pictures of the Stones signing them, and Taschen is a very reputable publisher/book maker. 5000 is pretty steep, but it sounds like it will be a beautiful book. Big to! 50cm x 50cm. And what wasn't said here is that there are Art editions with large prints for 10,000 to 15,000! The one an outtake from the Goat's Head Soup photo sessions of Jagger is sold out! Amazing!

Well, there's pictures of them signing one of them anyway.

That would be my concern as well, apart from the price. I really don't think that they signed each and every book.

No I wanna tart-up me bedroom walls a little ...
You know something ta match me Ninja Turtle bed spread

desertblues68,

LOL I know! but it would always be Keith for me - Mick is some eye candy and has his charms,
but Keith is more my type of guy: the ultimate tough on the outside, lovely and nuanced on the
inside, and truly adores women. I was talking to a dear friend about this kind of man last night.
Some women know what I'm talking about. Altho some don't ever get to find out first-hand, or just
don't ever know guys like that. Men usually don't; unless they're that "genre" of guy themselves.
Many men see only the badass outside part and don't realize the sweetness and soul poetry that
coexists with a guy of that ilk. They're rare, but exist...most significant relationships I've
had have been with guys with that duality. You can see it in this photo of Keith here.

Here's some propaganda from the Taschen catalog on the gathering of signatures for the book:


COMPILING THE DEFINITIVE, AUTHORIZED, ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF
THE WORLD’S GREATEST ROCK ‚N’ ROLL BAND ISN’T JUST AN EPIC CREATIVE
ENTERPRISE. IT’S ALSO A MAMMOTH LOGISTICAL FEAT.
THE GREATEST CHALLENGE WAS THE ELEMENT THAT WILL BE MOST
CHERISHED BY ANY ROLLING STONES FAN: THE SIGNATURE PAGE FOR THE
LIMITED EDITION. WE PRODUCED THIRTY SPECIAL ALUMINUM CASES TO
TRANSPORT THE SIGNING PAGES TO EACH OF THE BAND MEMBERS. THAT’S
FOUR ULTRA HIGH PROFILE, ENDLESSLY GLOBETROTTING STARS, EACH WITH
DIFFERENT RESIDENCES AND OFFICES AROUND THE WORLD. SO THESE
PRECIOUS PAGES TRAVELLED FROM LOCATION TO LOCATION UNTIL EACH AND
EVERY ONE WAS SIGNED BY MICK, KEITH, CHARLIE, AND RONNIE.
IT PROVED QUITE THE TRIP, COVERING THOUSANDS OF MILES ACROSS THREE
CONTINENTS. SOME SIGNING PAGES JOINED THE STONES ON TOUR THROUGH
EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES. AT ONE POINT A FEW HUNDRED PAGES
WERE INEXPLICABLY HELD OVER BY NORWEGIAN CUSTOMS.
IN TOTAL, IT TOOK THREE YEARS AND TWO ROUND-THE-WORLD TRIPS FOR
EACH ALUMINUM CASE TO GET ALL 1600 SIGNING PAGES THE MARK OF
RONNIE, MICK, KEITH AND CHARLIE APPROVAL. ONCE COMPLETE, THE PAGES
VOYAGED BY SPECIAL TRANSPORT TO OUR BINDER IN ITALY. CAREFULLY
UNLOADED, THEY ARE THEN STORED IN A SECURITY VAULT TO RIVAL FORT
KNOX UNTIL THE FINAL, HISTORIC BOOKS ARE BOUND, PRINTED, AND READY
FOR SHIPMENT. AN ODYSSEY OF A JOURNEY, BUT WHAT A ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
DESTINATION: THE ULTIMATE ENDORSEMENT TO THE STONES’ OFFICIAL
PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD. SATISFACTION guaranteed !

I believe it. I believe that it took them three years. It's the idea of any one of them sitting down and signing their name 1500 times over the course of say, a single weekend, that I would have a hard time believing.
